I had been out to various shops this morning, and was glad to get back home. As I approached my back door with my key in hand, I noticed this moth taking the same step as I was.
Well, I couldn't step over it without putting all my shopping down and grabbing my phone to take this picture. I did take a similar picture of a moth about 6 months ago; it was hanging onto the telegraph pole outside my front garden.
This is an Elephant Hawk Moth, quite large and a very pretty colour. I don't think it was the same one as previous, as we have had Winter since then. Opening my backdoor, I made sure it didn't come into my home, nothing shares my home.
